Abstract
Motivated by an increase of renewable energy sources, we propose a distributed optimal load frequency control scheme achieving frequency regulation and economic dispatch. Based on an energy function of the power network, we derive an incremental passivity property for a well-known nonlinear structure preserving network model, differentiating between generator and load buses. Exploiting this property, we design distributed controllers that adjust the power generation. Notably, we explicitly include the turbine-governor dynamics, where first-order and the widely used second-order dynamics are analyzed in a unifying way. Due to the non-passive nature of the second-order turbine-governor dynamics, incorporating them is challenging, and we develop a suitable dissipation inequality for the interconnected generator and turbine-governor. This allows us to include the generator side more realistically in the stability analysis of optimal load frequency control than was previously possible.
